Greatest Life Lesson 5 Relationship with his Disciples (Jesus' core group) The beginning of the End
What they Saw and Heard Reference the parables and miracles list (2nd) Jesus as Friend article (1st)
Peter’s Denial Why? He Had this image built up Peter walked on Water Healed People Cast out Demons Proclaimed Jesus As the Christ Luke 22:31-38
Side note Why was Peter at Jesus trial anyways? Jesus told Peter that he would deny him 3 times but Peter shows up at Caiaphas. To prove Jesus wrong, to support Jesus, or Peter probably wasn’t sure himself
The Denial beyond Peter John 18:15-18+25-27, Luke 22:54-62, Mark 14:66-72, Matthew 26:69-75 (all four books Jesus foretells Peter’s Denial) What about the other 11? Matthew 26:35 Matthew 26:56, Mark 14:50-52 There was only one of the 12 at Jesus fatal hour? John 19:25-27
Beyond the Denial Not even one of the 12 buried Jesus-John 20: 38-42; Joseph of Arimethea and Nicodemus (John 3:1-21 Nicodemus 1st encounter) They were hiding: defeated, afraid- for themselves, pity party, just wasted their lives with a man they spent years with. (John 20:19) Everything Jesus stood for was a lie or a waste of time
HE NEVER GIVES UP ON YOU John 21:19, after all Peter did, what his disciples did what is Jesus response to them, FOLLOW ME, Feed my Sheep, I have not given up on you, don’t give up on yourself. Peter got it the second time, just read acts, read his letters for example Acts 4: 5-12 How DEEP is the LOVE of Jesus? What are we going to do about it
